CHIHUAHUA SANDWICH
At first glance, it looked just like a Chicken Roll, only much much smaller.
We wanted a second opinion, so we consulted an expert.
The waitress sniffed at the plate before confirming it was Chihuahua.

CHIANGMAI DAYS
In Chiangmai, 'Songkhran' is more than just a three-day water free-for-all.
Up here, they’ve been chucking the 'Nam' at each other for more than a week.
Parties everywhere and they don’t look set to finish any day soon.
Yumm! Sounds like a perfect curry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Swapnap; It WAS - Actually, there's still some left if you want to try..
ReplyDeleteDead good Stan, love the one about Changnoi's mojo!
ReplyDeleteThe only other C's I can think of are cockroach and cochineal, apart from that I think you've got it completely covered, unless you like cabbage?
Andy
Thanks Andy; Cabbage - what's that?
ReplyDeleteNice smorgasbord of poetry here! The curry was great! And as cold as it is here (2F this a.m.), it sounds even better. That has to be THE cutest chihuahua I have ever seen. Fun poetry, cute dog, lovely family--great site all around. Thank you for this.

Thanks Sylvia; I'll have to get the recipe book out.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeding on your words :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anthony; You're welcome at my table.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of Cs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
C is for Concert
What fun! Ooops. I forgot to count C's but there were an unlikely number. 'Chuck' in some salt - giggler for sure.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence - we had curry last night. The list of ingredients is very similar so what are the critical combinations for a characteristic Thai curry, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteA calliope of Cs. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteJanuary; COMFORT food...?
Tumblewords; COOKERY fun.
Sheila; Thai curries are made with shrimp paste, fish sauce, lemon grass - otherwise similar.
Roger; Calliope...? I'll look it up.
Calliope is a music machine associated with a carousel.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the ABC Wednesday, thank you! -Ramblin' with Roger
Thanks for that Roger.
